Principles and Practices of Interconnection Networks

Acknowledgments

We are deeply indebted to a large number of people who have contributed to the

creation of this book. Timothy Pinkston at USC and Li-Shiuan Peh at Princeton

were the first brave souls (other than the authors) to teach courses using drafts of

this text. Their comments have greatly improved the quality of the finished book.

Mitchell Gusat, Mark Hill, Li-Shiuan Peh, Timothy Pinkston, and Craig Stunkel

carefully reviewed drafts of this manuscript and provided invaluable comments that

led to numerous improvements.

Many people (mostly designers of the original networks) contributed informa-

tion to the case studies and verfied their accuracy
